In the City of Crime, one law stands above them all: Only the strongest can live. Fighting is normal, extortion is common, and death is inevitable. Born into a wealthy family yet forced to live in poverty, Kanae Nali vowed to become strong enough to take back what rightfully belonged to her—even if it meant that she had to face the consequences and brave the dangers lurking in every corner. Yet on the outside, just like her mysterious peers, she was no different from the other high school students living their lives to the fullest. “Under the ray of light, my ability will only make me die faster. Under the veil of night, my ability allows me to survive longer.” ____ Story set in fictional city. Any similarities with real world's event is purely coincidence.

Master Rudy's Place
Time passed swiftly as Kanae spent the night practicing under Master Rudy's supervision. She was only allowed to rest when she was completely exhausted. It was quite inhumane in her opinion, but she didn't have any other choice. Master Rudy told her that the best way for her to improve was breaking down her body completely and letting it rebuild from the bottom up by itself. Beside her, the young man has stopped practicing from a long time ago.
"Master, you brought another monster here again," the young man complained.
Master Rudy laughed. "You're also great. Don't compare yourself with her. She's on a different level than you."
The young man nodded his head. "I know that."
